We learn also, from the same 9uar. ter, that the Tyrant is making the greatest"exet.;- thins to procure seamen IQ mau his • fleet ; em bar;;oes have been laid in Zealand and inNor. 'Lie addition of the way for that purpose. Swedish fleet to that uhich is in the Scheldt will .certainly give BUONAP RTC a formidable naval force in the North; but let it be re- membered, that if the advice of the Opposition bad been followed, that, force would have, been stronger - by nearly £0 sail of the line, because they wouli have suffered him quietly to take possession of the Danish fleet. The report of the conclusion of an -armistice between Russia and the Porte is re- peated with so much confidence, that we are inclin f4 ed to give credit to it.

The important intelligeoce reipeEting the'retreat of MASSENA, which we yesterday communicated to our readers, lips been publiAlied in a Gazette, which will be found in a sulaFequern. columu. • Those who are uiwhtiug to give credit to any acron .ti o; the soccesi of British arms, have already begun tO atilt AlAsaNA's re it cat is a feint, for the ,purpose of dray ing Lord WI LLINGTON from his strong positioa ; or else that he is' merely fallitig heck to 01,-er his supplies, and consequently that we ought not to feel any thing like exultation. To this reasoning we cannot give our assent. The retreat of MASSENA appears to us to aff'ord a rational and solid ground of triumph.— Let the circurnances under Which MASSENA en tered Portugal bi recollected. BUONAPAETE, in his Official Paper, pompously announced his intention to conquer Portugal ; or, to use his words,_ to drive the English out of that kiligdom ; and that for the ac complishment of this objea he had scle&ed one of his most able Generals, and had given him an army of 100,000 men. Let it be tecolleaed, that when 'AIAssENA appeatediall the frontiers of Portugal, Lord WELLINGTON had not more than 20,000 effeaive British troops under !,is ccmmincl, that : the Por tuguese army was in its infancy, and that.it h a d rio t then displayed that discipline and courage which have since done it so much houour. Let it be re collected also that as long ago as September, BUONA.- PARTE sent positikc orders to MA SSENA to attack the Allies. It tnay be said,' indeed, that that Letter was intereepted, but there can be little doubt that duplicates of it were sent; -Under these circum stances, MasszaA r'ernuii,s from the beginning of O&ober to the 14th of November, in sight of (he Al'ied Camp, without venturing to attack it, and at last he, the _hinder, retreats before the Army which he proudly boasted he would drive into the sea." This retreat, therefore, we con tend, affords us rational ground of triumph, became it proves that MASSENA'S great objed - has becr.t de feated. Our Readers will do us the justice to recolleet, that as soon as we received intelligence that Lord WELLINGTON had occupied the position of Torres; Vedras, ventured to give our opinion, that MAS=.' SEIIA would not attack him, that no battle would take.plaCe, and that- the French. General, notwith ittanding .his-- viunting, would retreat ;and our opinion 'has been confirmed in every point..

On - the 'l4tith Lord LINGTON T learbed iliac the erienV had constructed another bridge over the Zezere, his first having been carried away; and a large corps marched that day from - Santarem to Gallegos. Lord IiVELLIN4Tort immediately sent C‘meral s division access the Tagus at-Vallada, with a view of aiding Abran-• tes, if it should be attacked, or of annoying the enemy if'fie cotitinued his retreat tlirou' gh Lower Beria. " On the 18th the enemy's rT - -guard was found so strongly posted in front of Santarem, that it Could not b'e.attacked with hopes of success. Though 'he French Continue to send troops and baggage t , owlirds the Zeiere, t-hey,keep a sufficiently large - corps at Santarem and in its front to repulse. any attack from this side; and the heaVy rains ltive so completely destroyed the toads; that Lard WEI,LINCtON has f.4nditimpossible todisiodge the• enemy by mov, ing'ihrough the htfls against his right. Possibly the same cause keeps the enemy so long at San taretn. If Lord WELLINGTON is uncertain whetherit she the intention of MASSENA to retire Out of Portugal, In the strong position betWe6n the Zezere and San— ta-em, he may try-to maintain himself till he can be joined, by the reinforcements which Lord WELLING.. TON knows to be on the frontiers. On this account,. and that of the inclement weather, Lord WELLING. TON has brought foritard•but part of. his:army, leav ing a portion in cantonments in reserve. General, HILL is to halt at Carumuo, until the intention of ii the French is deci'del.- I " SI I.VIERA writes OM the Dili, and letters of the 13th, from Salamanca, confiin that corps, supposed about 20,D0ttmen,are moving in and prepar ing to ent.er.Portugal.

Our latest letters froM St. Petersburg!) represent the whole Russian Government, as welt as its,com toerce, to be in a deplorable state. The fortifica tions of Cronstadt are falling into great decay, with out a single workman being employed for the last two years in their reparation ; and their arsenals are b, come so defective, that one Russian ship of the tine was put to ‘sea throughout the whole of last summer.
